That said, running OBS as administrator mode will help prevent potential problems with rendering lag if your game uses too much of your GPU processing (running in admin mode puts OBS on the windows GPU priority list, so it gets what it needs).Īlso, for Nvenc encoding, there are settings that should be avoided due to CUDA processing potentially interfering with GPU utilization. here's the suggestions for tweaks.įirst things first - none of your encoding sessions resulted in any missing frames due to rendering/encoding lag, so you're good there as far as your system handling things well. I made a major edit to the above post in between. so the recommendation would definitely be to stick with nvenc moving forward.įor now though, post a log file of both an x264 test and an nvenc (new) test, and we can suggest tweaks if there's anything that needs it. Upgradint to a 20-series RTX card would grant you the Turing nvenc encoder, which has a quality around x264 medium. The 8700's TJmax is 105c, so you're well within limits. Raising the bitrate does not create a bigger load on your computer - it's just letting it use more data for the same compression algorithm.ĬPU temp around 85c is fine. if you can't reach an x264 preset that beats nvenc comfortably for your hardware, then just use nvenc. However, this is a very low impact on system performance as nvenc is a separate process from the rest of the graphics processing. Since you're on a previous-generation GPU with the older nvenc encoder, the quality you get from it is going to be about on par with the veryfast preset of x264. streaming to twitch is much more restrictive than streaming to youtube). The encoder you use for your specific hardware is going to depend on what you're actually doing - streaming or recording, and with what constraints (i.e. Please post a log with your issue! Here's how. I'm thinking about buying a RTX 2070 gpu, if I do so, would you recommend different settings? So I was wondering a couple things, is it b a d if my cpu gets that hot? Is a higher bitrate heavier on cpu or gpu? And what would you recommend with the cpu and gpu I have, x264 or nvenc? I don't know how much upping the bitrate would help, but I'm not sure whether that'll be harder on my computer. When using nvenc with 12000 bitrate, I get worse quality (which I expected looking at other posts from people). From what I've seen that's a little too high, right? I don't know if it's "normal" for when I'm streaming, but I'd like to not blow up my computer. Only thing I'm worried about is that when using those settings ^ my CPU stays around 85 degrees celcius.

I tried faster but that'll basically strangle my computer. I did some tests and when, as an example, playing overwatch my CPU usage without OBS is about 40 - 50%, when streaming with x264 / 12000 bitrate / very fast preset, it uses about 10 - 20% more CPU. So my question is, would you recommend using the x264 encoder, or the nvenc one? I really don't know a lot about which CPU is "good" or not, so im not sure if mine should be able to handle it. Upload speed (Idk if that's important): 40 mbps I'm sure there are a lottt of these posts, but it's different depending on the hardware, so I thought I'd check here just to be safe, if that's okay! I just also wanna understand what I'm actually doing, if that makes sense.
